[QUOTE="lefty, post: 289060, member: 10142"] Thanks guys. Yeah i thought with the pressure treated wood i would avoid rot. But i wasnt aware of the worser evil. I started this topic because the treated wood is so heavy. I run an electric only boat so im trying to save everywhere i can but still have the luxury of the raised deck but without the added weight. Ive found some composite materials for around 95 dollars a sheet. Very lightweight and closed cell construction so it wont retain moisture. For the framing im going with 2x2 aluminum angle. Question... do i need the baking soda mixture coated to the exposed areas to neutralize the effects from the treated wood? The treated wood was only on there one season. And didnt have any direct contact with the hull itself. Only benches. any other insight is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
